Italian Zucchini late but maybe----and Tomatoes!

One seed planted in a peat moss disc two days ago. Will it sprout?

Amazing tomatoes! Doing better than their cousins in Olympia. Some fist sized fruits.

And kohlrabi, too?

Eggplant evicted

Whatever kind of eggplant it was, it now isn't. The aphids attacked with vigor. I beat them back with soap, pyrethrin spray and mechanical elimination (squishing them). Still after the blooms dropped without fruit and the leaves began to take on some kind of disease, I'd reached my limit. OTD, AMF!

All under natural light

All under natural light

The eggplant joined a few upstart pea plants in the hot tub room. It was attacked by aphids which succumbed to permethrin. It only takes one or two aphids to regenerate.

Also in the hot tub room, Cindy's red pear tomato, Oregon Spring II tomato, Sub Arctic Plenty tom.
In the living room in front of big windows: Amber colored tom, unknown tom that formerly lived under lights.

Strawberries on the deck in 7 self watering boxes.

in self watering boxes:
  • Choysum.
  • baby carrots
  • cilantro

Da plants

They're dying! The bugs have attacked the cilantro and their maggot offspring killed it at the root level. I hadn't been spraying bug killer. Better veggies thru chemistry.

But I go into the furnace room and find one tom trying desperately to leave this world, but the other trying to stay and staging a revival. OKay. Okay.
